Product Overview
This is a scalp- and hair-care treatment by Paul Mitchell, part of their “Tea Tree Special Detox” line. The scrub is designed to exfoliate the scalp, removing buildup (from product, oil/sebum, dead skin flakes) and impurities, so that your scalp feels cleaner, refreshed and more balanced.
It uses a “foaming salt scrub” format: you apply it before shampooing, massage to cleanse the scalp, rinse, then follow with shampoo and conditioner.
The product is suitable for all hair types and is noted to be colour-safe, vegan (in many markets) and free from certain undesirable additives (like parabens, sulphates) in this line.
Key Features & Benefits
Features
- Exfoliating blend of Himalayan pink salt, French green clay, and volcanic ash to gently scrub the scalp, remove buildup and oils.
- Designed as a “rich foaming scrub” so distribution & massage feel are upgraded vs a plain scrub.
- Works on all hair types, including colour-treated hair (colour-safe formula) and scalp types.
- Invigorating tea tree (and typically peppermint/lavender) scent and scalp tingling feel — giving a fresh “wake-up” and spa-like moment.
- Eco-conscious packaging (in many regions uses post-consumer recycled plastics) as part of the brand’s sustainability push.
Benefits
- Helps clear away product residue, sebum (oil) build-up and dead skin that might clog the scalp or interfere with healthy hair growth.
- Leaves the scalp feeling refreshed, smooth and renewed, which may help your hair look and feel better (e.g., more voluminous, less weighed down).
- Improves the “foundation” for subsequent hair-care (shampoo/conditioner) because you are starting with a cleaner, healthier scalp environment.
- The sensory experience — cooling/tingling scalp + invigorating scent — can make the hair-care routine more enjoyable and reinforcing.
- Particularly beneficial if you use many styling products, dry shampoo, live in a humid/polluted environment, or feel your scalp is “heavy” or “scaly”.

Why Choose This Product?
You might choose this scrub if you:
- Feel like your scalp is oily, has product residue, or is lacking freshness and “bounce” in your hair.
- Use a lot of styling products, dry shampoo, or live in an environment where pollution or sweat may accumulate.
- Want a weekly scalp detox rather than just a regular shampoo/conditioner routine.
- Enjoy a refreshing, tingling scalp sensation and want your hair-care routine to feel more luxurious or spa-like.
- Care about using a professional/salon-grade product from an established brand.
- Have colour-treated hair and still want to detox without risking colour fade (since this line is designed to be colour-safe) — though always good to check your market variant.
If you have very dry, sensitive scalp, or extremely brittle/damaged hair, you might need to complement this with a rich conditioning treatment afterwards (since exfoliation may leave the scalp more “open”) or use less frequently.
